Columbus Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club - Chapter 67

The Columbus Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club (CBS) was co-founded by Allen "Stampede" Carter (left) and Adam "Ambassador" Troy (right). On August 4, 2007, during the National Round-up event, Troy's friend Peter "Rider" Yerloda, President of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Missouri, Kansas encouraged both Carter and Troy to meet with Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers founder Ken "Dream Maker" Thomas and Betty "Boo" Rucker, Vice President of the Buffalo Trooper Chicago chapter.

That evening, during and in-between sets at a local Kansas City Jazz Club, Dream Maker, Betty Boo, Rider and various members of the Buffalo Soldier family shared with Carter and Troy the organization's origin, rich history and collective vision for the future. Both Carter and Troy were inspired from the meeting and upon returning to Columbus they quickly committed themselves to the necessary due diligence.

In October of 2007, Carter petitioned the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle organization (NABSTMC) to start a chapter in Columbus, Ohio. On December 11, 2007, Carter and Troy received written confirmation that Thomas Costley, President of NABSTMC, granted permission to start the 67th chapter of the NABSTMC, thus giving birth to The Columbus Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club (CBS-67).

On December 19, 2007, the first meeting of CBS was held and an Executive Board was formed. The following persons comprised the Executive Board (from left to right): Damon "Drop Top" Woods, Allen "Stampede" Carter - Founder/President, Will "Gunner" Robinson - Treasurer, David "Silver Dollar"Harrison - Secretary, Adam "Ambassador" Troy - Co-Founder/Vice President.

We were incorporated on January 16, 2008 and membership was opened to new members on January 19, 2008.

Since then we have been diligently reaffirming our goals, increasing our membership, and making every effort to build upon the successful models of sister chapters.

The Charter Members of CBS are: Tony "Tiger" Roseboro, Jeffrey "Re-Coil" Barker, Sherman "Shorty Bang Bang" Charles, George "G2" Gore, Damon "Drop Top" Woods, Maurice "Mo" Stewart, James "Clip" Gray, Vikki "Duchess" Troy and Mike "Flem" Fleming.

Our goal is to become a positive influence in our community and to educate and inform others about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers.
